If both of your parents are drag racers, there's a pretty good chance you will be, too.

Awesome build, both from a mechanical and aesthetics perspective. That SW may be an APSIS piece.

Anyone know who makes that front bumper cover? I like it.

That is a Tigershark front bumper. The recommended company to buy from is Star Craft. They make a urethane version that fits well. Other examples are not as highly-rated.

That is a well thought out FRC and a good looking car.

Looks the same as what came in my Z06, minus the airbag cover.
